I'm in the worst cohort.... Our legal studies teacher told us today "The whole staff are talking about you all.... Your marks are just so bad. It's like, every subject.... I feel for you guys." Wow, not surprising. The year before us were the "Let's get drunk" group, the year below us are the "We struggle but soldier on" group.... And us, we are the "Laid-back-dumb-shit" group. Oh well, our class wasn't surprised about the teachers talking about us. Highest ATAR will probably be 88-ish this year. Guess it's my fault as well cause I've gotten so lazy. I had a chance to beat them all (They're not really that smart - I'm not up my self or anything, serious), yet I'm just been too lazy, and big headed by telling myself "No worries, I'm smart. I don't have to study! Muhahahaha" It's my fault and If I could change back time, I would. Do you think I have a chance to get an 80+ ATAR if I've averaged 40% in my trials. I think not -_-

If your cohort is as bad as you say they are, then 40% might mean a decent rank, and a decent rank means your externals will go further. If you want your 80+, or the 90+ in your sig, its time to go all out. Id get off this site for starters

Thought my cohort was good until I got trials back.
How the fuck did I get 2nd in chem with 71?! 70 fucking 1!!! I fucking didn't even study the night before and fucking walked out thinking I had done shit and failed and turns out everyone else was just as fucked. I mean what the fuck?!
Shit…
Also I'm glad I do mx2 because all but 6 people out of like 26 failed mathematics. Lol. The marks range from 110 to around 4 or something. Lol.
But yeah I'm pretty sure my cohort is alright but last year's mx1 and mx2 classes destroy us. I think chem is about the same. I think bio is better this year. Sor2 is better this year. English standard is better this year too. Everything else I don't really care about but I think is worse.

Do you go to ruseThis year's cohort won't live up to our school's high expectations. That said, we're not going to drop our spectacular school rank for a looooong long time.!

Well I'm a 2012er,
I reckon the 2010 were the best cohort ever, closely by the 2007, the 2011 cohort will drop the school rank a bit I reckon, but I think my year will redeem it quite but not back up to 2010 glory.

With the new leaving age thing how you have to be 17 and over or something, a lot of the people in my grade couldn't drop out in Year 10 so I think my cohort will be crap comparatively.

:O no wayyyy! our cohort is gonna be so much better than last years, last year they only had around 5-10 really good people, everyone else was pretty damn shitty, & although we have lots of stupid people we also have our fair share of talent

Steph, Rachel, Joey, Claudia and you are the only people who I think will do well.

lol just because someone does a particular subject doesn't mean they're good at it e.g. if I did English Extension.

lol well i don't personally know how they're doing, they just seem like a really smart group of guys, so i just assumed they were doing ok, i guess not..

Well obviously they're best maffs students in the whole grade and by quite a huge margin (top mark of non-4U in 3U was ~70%, lowest mark of 4U in 3U was 85%, in the last assessment), but course average in 4U is still only 60% lol.
Kevin and Josh may do well, they're top 3 in all their other subjects so idk.
